Directions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Cut the potatoes into small pieces and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them on the sheet pan and roast for about 15 minutes to give them a head start.
While the potatoes cook, prepare the vegetables by chopping the broccoli and carrots. In a small bowl, mix honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
Remove the pan from the oven and add the broccoli and carrots, tossing them lightly with olive oil and seasoning. Push the vegetables to the sides and place the salmon fillets in the center.
Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the salmon.
Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 12 to 15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the vegetables are tender.
